PWW: Find The Candy Contest

(Practically) Wordless WednesdayName at least 30 nostalgic goodies (I count 33) by piecing together the box of nostalgic candy from this photo and the three photos below, and WIN...something. Candy I'd venture.

Hey Olga, there are two I'm not all that sure about, but since I know where they came from, think I can figure it out.Big Hint: I mentioned this box of candy a few weeks after I got it for my birthday. It reminded me of something from LOST.Hope the kids know a little something about nostalgic candy.

Glad you told us. I was going to guess 'an undetermined number of movie candy leftovers' that were almost ancient.Whew!The top photo was one I took this Sunday at the City of Houston Herman Park Japanese Gardens.http://www.houstontx.gov/parks/hermannph2.htmlThe bottom I took Monday evening after the rains from my back porch. The sun had just came out to illuminate the red-leafed tree.Happy WW!....

Zero would be good with a Newcastle, James. But I do recall an incident involving Cuervo, Beck's Dark, and several pieces of imported candy...Yay, lots of photos. I think somebody should have shipped them some sun block.

Good eye Jodi, you could expect to see them in such a package. On the other hand, I'm convinced someone looked into several little white bags from my childhood and came up this box o' candy.BBB, blech, my friend who ate sardines, baking soda, and tinfoil ate those. Double blech.

Yes Liser, Zagnuts, a definite personal fav, and indeed a bag of Whoppers were in the Magic Box.Not a Junior Mint fan so it's just as well. But I did love the Peppermint Crunch Jr. Mints last Christmas. C'mon, with that photog's eye you could spot much sugar.

Zagnuts is in two of the four photos. I'm impressed by your Whopper spotting. If you know when my birthday is, early May, you could find the post from that month which names quite a few of the treats my evil sister sent me.

OMG! I used to LOVE those Butter Rum Lifesavers!!! Oh, and those juicy thingies in the waxy "bottles" were naaaaaaaaaaastaaaaaay!!! I don't know why we always bought them and thought that they were cool. Those little candies on the piece of paper...We used to pretend they were drugs. LOL!

LOL! Okay, I still have some time to figure out what the rest of them are then? I love me a good challenge! I am so miffed that the names of those classic childhood candies are on the tip of my tongue! I KNOW what they are because I've eaten them when I was a kid!

Hope the Easter Bunny is good to you this year. Cadbury Mini Eggs...Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...

P.S. I'll be back. I'm going to try to figure out what the names of the rest of those candies are!

GAH!!! Still not up to 30 yet...and you can name off 33 in one go? LOL!

Oh man...My brother told me those icky candies on the piece of paper are called Candy Buttons!!! Seriously??? I had no idea! All I remember is pretending it was medicine. Didn't you have that Fisher Price doctor's kit when you were a kid? Those candies were a good accompaniment to the doctor's kit! LOL! That's what we used them for when we were kids. "Here, take this and call me in the morning!"

On a totally different topic, did you know that we didn't used to get Nestle Crunch here in Canada for the longest time?? I remember every time we went to NY to visit family, we'd always stock up on all the cool cereal and candies that we could only get in the States and not in Canada! LOL! Now that we can get Nestle Crunch here, I hardly ever buy it. Odd.

One last thing (I thought this would amuse you...or Jimbo). The word verification for this comment is: vajass. Okay, maybe I was the only one who thought that was funny.
